2 die in Kosovo shopping mall blast

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) -- A powerful blast ripped through Kosovo's capital early Monday, killing two and injuring 10 others, officials said.

The explosion happened around 2:30 a.m. in a shopping mall in the center of Pristina. It was not immediately clear what was the target of the attack.

Police spokesman Veton Elshani said most of the victims were injured from a concrete block falling after the blast.

Police did not give any motive for the attack and did not identify any of the victims.

Kosovo is formally a part of Serbia, but has been under U.N. and NATO control since 1999 after the alliance bombed Serb forces and ended the troops' brutal crackdown on separatist ethnic Albanians.
